Just bought this baby 2 months ago, 26k miles on her... So far the only modification I've made is blacking out the rims. What do you guys think I should do to it? Open to all opinions! (I know I need it tinted)

Plasti-dip

Blacking out the wheels is the best thing you can do........because........no one can see brake dust LOL!

Black out all the chrome bits. Lower it. Nicer wheels.

 

[Alvatree]

Any suggestions for the wheels? I'm in the process of blacking out the chrome grille.

 

[Alvatree]

Also, should I get a cold air intake?

 

[badazz2010focus]

if ya want sure but get a steeda if your worried about hyrdolocking the motor as you are in ft meyers.

CAI and exhaust are usually a decent duo to help free up a few extra horsepower and give your car a nicer sound.

As for wheels, that's up to you. I'm a huge fan of the simple&clean look, so I'd recommend the EAP 15spokes.

I'm kinda new to all this, are exhausts easy to install? And I would like my car to sound a bit... manlier lol

Also blacked out the grill!

They are easy to install and I would just get on youtube to listen to all the different ones. If you don't want to mess with it most exhaust shops can install it for you. They usually charge around $50 to do so

Welcome new comer. Car is off to a decent start so far

K&N also makes good intakes
FSWERKS makes killer exhausts

Thank you Is it looked down upon that my car is automatic? Lol

 

[andermac]

I have an automatic, it is fine. I have heard that gears change faster on the auto compared to the manual, "supposedly"

eww autotragic get out.


haha kidding, but seriously

 

[andermac]

Im going with a short ram intake, as a daily I dont want to take a chance with water.

Just a simple K&N filter

 

[badazz2010focus]

good choice I'm just real carefull when there is standing water.

 

[Alvatree]

Wait... so which one should I get? Lol I'm lost. It's always really wet here. I know the difference between a CAI and a short RAM but what makes a short RAM any more resilient than a CAI? ALSO! Wouldn't an OEM air intake generate more power than a short RAM intake even with the restrictors? Wouldn't the air a short RAM is getting be a lot hotter than an OEM intake?
